Instructions
Steps to make the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place one Krispy Kreme doughnut on a cutting board and cut into eight pieces. Repeat with the rest of the doughnuts.
- Then, place all of the cut doughnuts into a large bowl.
- Next, add the toasted pecan pieces and set the bowl aside while you make the custard.
- To make the custard, start by pouring the whole milk and heavy whipping cream into a separate bowl.
- Then add the large eggs, light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk everything together, making sure to break up the eggs, to combine.
- Pour the custard over the cut doughnuts and toasted pecan pieces, then stir well to combine everything.
- Let everything sit in the bowl for a few minutes to allow the cut doughnuts to absorb the custard and for the flavors to meld together.
- Pour everything into the prepared baking dish. Then, using a rubber spatula, spread everything into an even layer, pressing it down into the pan as you spread it.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 50-60 minutes.
Steps to make the Caramel Pecan Topping
- When there's about 15 minutes remaining for the baking time of the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding, place a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the heavy whipping cream and light brown sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to a full boil. When the sauce reached a full boil, allow it to cook for three minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and the toasted pecan pieces. Stir to combine everything.
- Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to use.
- Remove the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding from the oven.
- Immediately pour the caramel pecan sauce over the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes to cool and absorb the Caramel Pecan Topping.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Yield 12 servings.
